"The 2-4-6-8 diet is supposed to stimulate metabolism by tricking body to think person is increasing food intake. Oppositely, 2-4-6-8- diet helps anorexic person to maintain dangerously low calorie intake levels. Sudden, drastic and potentially lethal weight loss is the only result. There is no evidence this kind of diet gives any of the desired results. Maybe this is the reason this is one of the most popular diets among restrictors. It is possible to rotate the number of calories on a given day in order to keep their metabolism up. There are different ways to rotate, either reversing 2-4-6-8 diet starting with 8 or doing 2-4-6-8-6-4-2. As this is a very strict diet there is no room for junk food or caloric beverages. Also this diet is not considered as maintenance but is designed to kick start your metabolism or to keep you break through a weight-loss plateau. Average of weekly weight loosing is up to 4 pounds if you are at a “normal” weight but more like 2 pounds if you are already underweight."

the only reason i posted again today is bcuz, when stumbling upon a site talking about this metabolism diet thing i've been attempting.... i didn't even know there was a name for it. anywho, maybe i should stick to my special plan. it has been helping me lose LBS pretty fast (as long as i stick to it, without binging. and i can change it up a little, do a repeat thing back and forth, flipping it around.
for example (as said in article): 2-4-6-8-6-4-2 and throw a fast day in there. i like fasting on Mondays for some reason. i'm pretty busy on Mondays and it seems easier for me to stay distracted from food.
okay ladies. comment time. whatdya think? any feedback on the matter. where should i go with this in order to alter my previous plan in a way in which i can be more successful in my weight loss? help please. thanks.

Hey! Thanks for the encouragement, as always. :) You're absolutely lovely.
I had to buy those noodles online, but then again I didn't go to Whole Foods or anything to see if they had them.

Not too terribly expensive, really, for what you're able to enjoy with NO CALORIES! :D
Be well, and stay lovely!
